Hi Ed - Are you asking whether you can reuse the same namespace and block name
with an OOT module? If so, then so long as you don't load the library
containing the GR-provided block(s), you can make it work -- it's a C++ issue
rather than anything else. That said, it would generally be better if you
named your block something else to help distinguish it from what GR provides --
unless what you want is intentionally a drop-in replacement for what GR
provides. In C++ you can add to a namespace if you want to, so long as what
you're adding augments, does not conflict with nor try to replace, what's
already there. Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but maybe this
helps? - MLD
